2026-10-19 (~3:52 AM ET — https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2112089556615123114): Musk promises "Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many." Same-day follow-ups add the thread's first named structure: "giving shares, which are stakes in the future economy, directly to the people is the way" (~11:58 AM ET — https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2112211740884975910), and "Thanks for helping enable this" addressed to @altcap, @gjurvetson and @TrumpAccounts (~12:25 PM ET — https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2112218558302490744). SpaceX is privately held; nothing in capture covers valuation, age eligibility, or the transfer mechanism. Watch: an official mechanics post via the Trump Accounts surface, the valuation basis, and any legal/transfer structure behind "one of my SpaceX shares."
